Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Android kernel
Description
The issue is related to a possible out of bounds write in the
copy from mbox function of sss ice util.c due to a missing bounds check. This could lead to local escalation of privilege, requiring System execution privileges. No user interaction is needed for exploitation.Recommendations
For Android kernel, consider applying a patch that includes a bounds check in the
copy from mbox function to prevent out of bounds writes. As a temporary workaround, restrict access to sensitive system resources to minimize the risk of exploitation. Found an issue in the description? Have something to add? Feel free to write us 👾
